Newcombe was instrumental through the Hawks midfield, earning himself a perfect 10 votes for his Gather Round performance.

Jack Ginnivan was next best in brown and gold with seven votes. Ginnivan finished with an equal game-high 28 disposals, a game-high 10 score involvements, including give goal assists and a goal of his own.

Forward Mitch Lewis also received one vote thanks to an equal game-high three goals, 10 marks, 18 disposals and seven score involvements.
